Danny Trejo may be one kick-ass mofo as he proved in ‘Machete’ but at 56-years old you’d think the old fella would be taking it easy. Instead the star signs on as a kick-ass senior citizen in new action flick ‘Bad Ass’. The fellas over at 24 Frames Per Second have premiered the first look at the new poster for the Craig Moss helmed feature which shows us a mean looking Trejo set with tatts and a baseball bat. Shalim Ortiz, Ron Perlman, Craig Sheffer, Jillian Murray, Jennifer Blanc, Winter Ave Zoli, Charles S. Dutton, Richard Riehle, Patrick Fabian and Danny Woodburn all co-star. Check out the synopsis and poster below.
“In the vein of Death Wish and Gran Torino, we follow this sixty something vigilante as he kicks ass to not only bring back justice to his best friend but to the community as well. Decorated Vietnam hero Frank Vega (Danny Trejo) returns home only to get shunned by society leaving him without a job or his high school sweetheart. It’s not until forty years later when an incident on a commuter bus (when he protects an elderly black man from a pair of skin heads) makes him a local hero where he’s suddenly celebrated once again. But his good fortune suddenly turns for the worse when his best friend Klondike is murdered and the police aren’t doing anything about it. Vega decides to take matters into his own hands as he goes in search of the killer only to discover links to local government corruption.”
